Our Process
We believe every home—and every client—is unique. That’s why we follow a personalized, step-by-step approach:

We create a detailed action plan, including organization solutions, layout recommendations, and design suggestions that fit your space, budget, and personal aesthetic.
3. Declutter & Edit
Together, we sort and simplify your belongings, making intentional decisions about what stays, what goes, and what can be repurposed or donated.
4. Organize & Style
We implement functional, easy-to-maintain systems while elevating your space with décor that reflects your style. From curated bins and labels to artful arrangements, every detail is thoughtfully placed.
5. Product Sourcing (Optional)
Need the perfect storage solutions or finishing touches? We source bins, baskets, shelving, and décor that align with your style and budget.

Meet Allie - Founder of The Polished Nest
Organizing has been part of Allie's personality for as long as she can remember. Even as a child, her nanny would laugh watching her line up and arrange toys in the basement, creating order just for the fun of it. That natural love for tidiness never went away—it only grew stronger over time.
After purchasing her own home in 2020, Allie discovered a passion for not just organizing, but transforming spaces with beautiful décor that makes a house truly feel like home. Friends and family often turned to her for help creating functional, stylish rooms, inspiring her to turn her lifelong skills into a business dedicated to helping others.
Today, Allie combines her eye for design with her innate ability to bring order to any space, giving clients in the Chicago suburbs homes that feel polished, serene, and effortless to maintain.
